Business caseEstimate 3–7 year total cost of ownership savings versus traditional PCs — model hardware CapEx, energy and IT labor in minutes.
Model new ChipPC thin clients or PC to TC with ThinX OS. Key inputs: device count, energy cost (~3.5 W thin client vs 65–150 W PC), IT labor, and hardware refresh cycles.
The ChipPC TCO Calculator estimates 3–7 year savings from switching to thin clients or converting PCs with ThinX OS. Key variables: number of devices, years modeled, PC unit cost vs thin-client cost, energy rate (thin clients use ~3.5 W vs 65–150 W for PCs), and IT labor savings from centralized Xcalibur Global management. Typical TCO savings: 40–65 % over 5 years. Next step: run the calculator or contact ChipPC for a custom analysis.

CapEx and labor figures are planning defaults you can change. Energy uses ChipPC’s published ~3.5 W working-mode figure for purpose-built thin clients (Environmental.
Illustrative model for planning — not a formal quote. Device pricing, electricity rates, and labor models vary by region and enterprise agreement.
Same five levers IGEL talks about — with ChipPC’s hardware + ThinX + Xcalibur stack, not OS-only.
Designed ~10-year lifespan vs short PC cycles. Or skip refresh CapEx with PC to TC and ThinX OS.
Ultra-low-power thin clients cut electricity and cooling — see Environmental.
Locked ThinX endpoints + Xcalibur Global or XcaliburW reduce patching and local installs.
IGEL’s public page is mainly a contact path for a custom calculation. ChipPC’s tool gives an instant, transparent estimate you can tune — then escalate to sales for a formal model with your real SKUs and power rates.
Repurposed PCs still draw more watts than purpose-built ChipPC thin clients (~3.5 W). PC to TC typically wins on CapEx by avoiding new hardware; new thin clients win harder on energy at fleet scale.
No — they are editable planning defaults. Use Get a detailed TCO review for project pricing, volume, warranty and management licenses.
